Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 35,55,85,35 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 35,55,85,35 is 5.
Lets's calculate LCM of 16,69,20,588
2 | 16, 69, 20, 588 |
2 | 8, 69, 10, 294 |
3 | 4, 69, 5, 147 |
4, 23, 5, 49 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 3 x 4 x 23 x 5 x 49 = 270480
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 5/270480
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 35/16,55/69,85/20,35/588 is 5/270480
The formula of LCM is LCM(a1,a2,a3....,an) = ( a1 × a2 × a3 × .... × an) / GCF(a1,a2,a3....,an) x common factors(if more than 2 numbers have common factors).
We need to calculate greatest common factor of 16,69,20,588 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(16,69,20,588) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 48
GCF(16,69,20,588) x common factors =1 x 48 = 48
LCM(16,69,20,588) = ( 16 × 69 × 20 × 588 ) / 48
LCM(16,69,20,588) = 12983040 / 48
LCM(16,69,20,588) = 270480
